Armenia has not informed the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) of any plans to withdraw from the organization, CIS Secretary General Sergey Lebedev told TASS on the sidelines of the International Forum on Collective Security in Moscow.

"The Prime Minister personally told me, as well as many others, that they would remain in the CIS. We have not heard any statements indicating that Armenia intends to withdraw from the Commonwealth," Lebedev noted.

It should be recalled that Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan previously stated that his country continues to participate in the CIS framework but does not take part in some of the organization's activities.
